It’s time for more Philosophy at the Gnu’s Room! (I forgot to announce our last one, “Philosophy & Technology,” Oct. 24.) Tonight’s session (Weds., Nov. 14, at 5:00 p.m.) is a panel of Dead Philosophers, at which various department members will be representing their favourite dead philosophers. I’ll be playing Aristotle. Come on by!

Cordial and Sanguine, Part 47: Bleeding Stateless
I’m a tad late announcing this, but the joint BHL/C4SS symposium on left-libertarianism kicks off this week. The first two entries, one by Gary Chartier on how we differ from other flavours of left and libertarian, and the other by me on conflation, are now up. More to come!
Report from Libertopia, Part 11
Stephanie Murphy’s interview with Gary Chartier, Charles Johnson, Sheldon Richman, and myself about the Center for a Stateless Society and Markets Not Capitalism is now online. (And don’t miss Stephanie’s Markets Not Capitalism audiobook.)
Added bonus for Kevin C.: reggae music in the background!
Fearful Symmetry
If you thought Brandon’s zombified pic of me was creepy, check out these symmetrical versions:
It Usually Begins With “It Is a Sin to Write This,” Part 2
And now my Tuccille intro is up as well.
It Usually Begins With “It Is a Sin to Write This”
I’ve written the introductions to Laissez Faire Books’ new e-book editions of Ayn Rand’s Anthem and Jerome Tuccille’s It Usually Begins With Ayn Rand.
The Anthem intro is online here, and the Tuccille intro should be available soon.
I’m sure someone somewhere, upon reading them, will ask why the Rand-lover who wrote the Anthem intro and the Rand-hater who wrote the Tuccille intro have the same name!
In related news, I’d assumed my monograph Reason and Value: Aristotle versus Rand was out of print (Amazon offers it for the un-tempting price of $200), but apparently the book is still being published by, and is available “upon inquiry” from, the Atlas Society at some almost reasonable price, although they do not advertise it in any way, either on their website or via Amazon; moreover, the book is also available as a free pdf on their website (here – in a somewhat cleaner copy than the ones currently floating around the internet), though again it’s not exactly announced with bugle and drum, and you’ll only come across it if you’re hunting for it.
The same applies to Neera Badhwar’s similarly themed Is Virtue Only a Means to Happiness?, likewise available in the same hidden easter-egg way (here).
The Atlas Society does it this way because … um … okay, this is a case where Verstehen hits a brick wall. But anyway, they’re available!
